EVOLVABLE HARDWARE ORG

Evolvable hardware is the application of evolutionary algorithms to hardware systems during design, operation, or both. It can be used to simulate the parameter optimization for physical designs or search for new and counterintuitive designs altogether. For reconfigurable hardware, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other programmable logic devices, the evolutionary process can be performed intrinsic to the hardware itself and exploit device-specific characteristics, including manufacturing errors and physical effects that fall below fabrication tolerances... Since the turn of the century, evolvable hardware research began migrating into many and different directions away from the initial FPGA-intrinsic analog method. The excitement for this field of research was a result of the prospect of using evolutionary search to create analog circuits; a significant engineering challenge. Our mission was to determine why evolvable hardware appeared to have abandoned this vein of..
